Approaches I use

Evidence-based methods, blended for fit

A good therapist doesn’t pick one school and force everyone into it. Here are the approaches I draw from.

EFT

Emotionally Focused Therapy — most-evidenced approach for couples, working with attachment cycles rather than content.

Gottman

40+ years of marriage research distilled into communication, repair, and friendship-building skills couples can practise.

Attachment-based

Looks at how you connect — the patterns laid down early — and where they soften with new experience.

In their own words

Questions Dr. Priya answers themselves

The clinical bio doesn’t tell you everything. These do.

Question 1 of 4

How do you handle it when only one partner wants therapy?

Start where the willing partner is. Often, change in one person creates new room in the relationship — and the other partner joins of their own accord, sometimes a few months in.
